The Nature and Nurture debate
The nature and nurture debate is a debate on whether aspects of your life such as; gender, sexuality, illness, intelligence, personality, etc. is determined by your genes you get from your parents (nature) or if it is influenced by the environment you are brought up in (nurture).

Biological theorists believe nature is what causes homosexuality. Although, many theorists have carried out investigations into linking homosexuality to an individual’s psychological development or an illness.

However, she could not prove that homosexuality is caused because of psychological development or an illness leaving her with no correlation.
